How to Make Lazy Day Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
- Cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts), and 1/4 cup melted butter.
- Once the cake is baked, let it cool for 10 minutes in the pan before spreading the topping evenly over the warm cake.
- Place the cake under the broiler (3-5 inches from the heat source) for 3-5 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving and enjoy!
